    The look on my face when Global Warming/Deforrestation/Desertification wasn't on the option:(

    /fail.

    What about Human Impact on biomes, or whatever it was? You could've fit it it.

    Beau - that's horrible, hope everything works out.

    Overall thought it was tough, especially some bogey short qs:mad:

    Elective was grand, aswell as regional, cept my brazil sketch resembled a deformed blob haha

    Option-culture and identity wasn't great


    That feckin physical section, formation of sedimentary rocks or whatever- reckon i'll get marks for doing limestone pavement as a formation?

    Second A of the day hopefully :)

    I kicked ASS in the European urban region. I wrote and wrote and wrote! :D

    And seemingly I answered the easy questions, and answered them right according to my teacher which is class. I'm tired though :(

    We never touched biomes or any of the other options, just the first 3 questions part. I don't even know what a Biome is :pac: our teacher just didn't look at it.

    I did the NGO/Aid one though, but i'd learnt of essays for Global Warming/Deforrestation/Desertification as it had come up every year:(

    That's a pity - the question was basically "How have human's altered the earth" :(

    Yeah it was a fairly open paper, I'm sure it's fine. At least you finished yours ;):rolleyes:

    I loved the question about the development of an urban area. I just wrote everything I know about Paris :D

    anybody know if global warming, deforestation en desertification fit in with the question on globaly interdependant economy, actions in one place have effects on others??????

    i was thinking that but didn't want to risk it because i knew NGO's...
    i'd say so, deforestation in the amazon has global effects so you could definitely fit that into it..
    and global warming has global effects too.
    once you backed everything up with examples i'd say you're ok.

    I thought it said something about a global economy, which to me sounds like they were trying to make one not do global warming and stuff

    It went better than I expected, I used every bit of knowledge I had to pad out things..
    Did anyone do the question on why a European urban centre developed at a certain point? I did Paris and just went through the three economic activities attracting people to the region and stuff but I think I messed up.. what were we meant to do with that??? :S

    I did question 17, geo ecology about overgrazing overcropping and desertification and how it accelerates soil erosion. Of course desertification came up.

    It was a nice paper. In each of the sections there was at least one full question that I could answer.

    I messed up a bit with time management and was rushing at the end so my essay question is a bit short however all in all I think that I did ok.

    Hopefully the results will reflect that in August. I'm hoping for a B3.

    Don't worry about it - you'll get that. Remotely okayish project + short questions + attempts at long questions, it's inevitable that you'll get a good grade :) Don't stress - tis a safe bet for a nice boost come August!

    Global Interdependence, had banked on global warming, desertification and deforestion and low and behold they didn't come up in the option.:mad: Apart from that I thought it was ok, but seemed harder than past years. Was aiming for a B1 but well hoping for a C1 or B3 now.:(

    It was hidden in the question 14, how are the actions in one place effect another? Global Warming > Desertification blah blah blah

    Ah it was a grand paper.
    Wrote too much for some questions though and my Biome answer ended up being just over 3 pages :(. Ive never wrote so much in such a short period of time, 16 damn pages. I'll be sad if I dont get a B.

    Just wondering about the Geocology question (17). Discuss how human activities can accelerate soil erosion. Does the answer involve over cropping, overgrazing, and deformation??

    I said west and I thought the highest point was the one with the triangle beside it? cos there was no numbers on the top left corner.

    ANYWAY ITS OFF SO NO POST MORTUMS!

    Yeh well i did the same...wrote 3 nd half pages on them.. paragraphs each on overgrazing overcropping and desertification.

    Got a bit confused though because i was sorta over lapping with the three and i thought i was **** talking for a bit...did u do the same ? Not sure whether it was a good answer or not because felt i may have repeated some thing from overgrazing in the overcroppin part.
